How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

On “Put Me in a Movie”, Lana Del Rey shines a spotlight on the dark side of the film industry. Likely referencing her favorite book Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov, which inspired her later song of the same name, Lana sings from the perspective of a young girl seeking fame in Hollywood.

On her 2015 album Honeymoon, Lana revamps “Put Me”’s chorus as the soaring bridge for her flippant “High by the Beach”. While the melody remains similar, the verse’s meaning shifts towards a brighter message of independence, as Lana ignores the media and sets out on her own.
